Abstract

An attempt to evaluate the antibacterial activity of reduced graphene oxide supported ternary nanocomposite (MoO3/Fe2O3/RGO), which was studied its structural and morphological studies by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (FESEM-EDX), N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm (BET) and UV-Visible spectrophotometer. This ternary nanocomposite, has a good potent for antibacterial activity against on both Gram positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli) and Gram negative bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa).

Keywords: MoO3/Fe2O3/RGO, Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
